Apart from the daily news of people being murdered which you read in all newspapers on the first 5 pages - at least - and most murders never get published, because it is "bad publicity" for SA and for tourists visiting the country.....this article published in a newspaper in Mpumalanga, which we read while on holiday at Pelgrims Rest in August, was REALLY upsetting!!This shows you how the government of the day spends the country's money! R3,5 million on the commemoration of the death of President Samora Machel (of Mosambique) 20 years ago!! Divide R3,5 million by about 14 and you get the amount in pound. Just think how many houses they could build with that money for people who don't have it.....think how much they could do to improve the country's education, which is in a state! think how much more they could pay teachers to improve the quality of education in "certain" schools, think how many new computers they could buy for schools to educate the children in a modern way! What about AIDS! The list is endless!! But,..... the outside world don't care, they just pour more and more money into the pockets of the people who are in charge....doesn't matter WHAT they do with the money! WAKE UP world!!
